The Wizard of Quintz

A LitRPG Adventure (Dead Server 7, Book 1)

De: Ember Lane

Narrado por: Wayne Mitchell

Merl is possibly the worst shepherd in Morgan Mount.

He’s easily distracted. You see, Merl can see things that other folks in his village cannot...like letters over their heads. His best friend, Billy Muckspreader, has NPC. Except Merl doesn’t know what it spells, because Merl can’t read. But that’s not Merl’s only distraction. Buildings have even more letters over them, and he thinks they have numbers too. If he stares at a tree long enough, a golden plaque appears with all sorts of unintelligible nonsense on it. It doesn’t bother Merl that much, but it bothers his dad. So when a wizard camps out in a nearby wood, his dad drags Merl to see him.

No one could truly predict what happened next. After all, medieval zombies aren’t really a thing, and surely a simple farmhand of dubious parentage can’t hold the fate of the world in his hands? That would be unheard of.

This is a litRPG progression fantasy where stats become more visible as the story goes on. There is mild swearing and plenty of zombie gore.

Redneck morons

Listening to this book was starting to reduce my IQ. Not only was the narration way too intense and lacking a proper cadence, the story itself was dragging. I made it to midway through and spent a whole lot of hours listening to an emerging plotline that could have been covered in 2-3 chapters. I will see if I can get my credit back by returning this ebook.

Definitely unusual

The narration was a bit strange at first. I enjoy this author's other work, so stuck it out to judge the story. After a few chapters both the story and the performance began to grow on me. If you can get past the unique narration style, the book is a lot of fun.

early review,

this is an early review. but not sure what every other review is talking about. so far this book is great and so is the narration. its about a hillybillyish community. . .so thr narrator puts in the effort to make it sound great. . . .worth my credit so far.

I tried…I really did...

This is an impossible audiobook to get through. The narration makes this unbearable. I’ve listened to one other series that Wayne Mitchell has narrated, and while he is always over the top intense, it was listenable and the story pretty good. I have not listened to any of the other stuff he’s done because of all the bad reviews about his yelling and intensity.

This is like listening to a bunch of intentionally made hillbilly morons talk about necromancy and zombies, except worse, because everybody has the I.Q. of a Mike Tyson with a concussion. There’s no reprieve through the first couple of chapters, so I don’t see how anybody can get through it. I LOVED Ember’s Dragon 4X Strategy books. One of them managed to take me on an emotional rollercoaster I wasn’t expecting, but this…. The only thing I can compare it to is a LitRPG book that is being read by middle schoolers who are trying to make fun of the story and characters by using moronic, redneck accents, and thinking they’re actually funny. Will be returning for the credit back. This was awful and i’m really forgiving….

Horrible

I struggled to listen but the voices were so awful I couldn’t take it. Sounds like a bad Clint Eastwood impersonation.

I'd probably like the story but

I just couldn't get into it the voice actor threw me for a loop so I didn't finish it

horrible

I have no idea if this book is good or bad. I just know I can't listen to this reader. I've put our a few reviews like this in the past. can't listen anymore.

Narration

Two chapters in and I stop the read. Now the reason was not because of the story or anything. It was just the narration... I couldn't stand it; plus did it even went with the time and age of the setting of the book?
